Clean.
Probably a good deal, guy texted back saying he already has a bite en route, but will let me have it if that guy flakes or haggles... i figured flip the case, end up with a modding platform for $200ish.... or clean up and retouch the break and flip it on
Alas too late probably

If the break has damaged the faceplate, I'd pass. If it is okay, then sure, maybe...

The proof of the puddin' is in the eatin'. Go play it. If it feels and sounds great, buy it. If it doesn't "speak" to you, pass. Screw flipping the case. At that price, just keep it. The guitar needs a good home for storage and transport, after all.

Judging from past comments, I know what he'd say.

I'd pop for it, and immediately have a competent luthier eyeball it. If it's toast, part it out and make money off it. If it's good to go, play the heck out of your very good deal.

I know a $300 LP sounds too good to be true, but it kinda depends on what kind of LP Studio it is, you can pick up used the Studio Faded versions for $600 - $700, I know I've seen them new on sale for $799. Not sure what it costs for a headstock repair, but if it is more than $300, I would definitely do some research.

That's a mighty mediocre axe for a price that can get you top-shelf stuff used
